Depression, Debt, Default & Destruction in 2025 -Martin Armstrong
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is back with a new round of predictions, and they are not going to make life easy for President Elect Trump. Armstrong says, “Our computer has been projecting that we are going into a depression in some areas and a recession in other areas. A depression most likely in Europe and a recession in the United States up until 2028. . . . At my November conference, everybody was celebrating after Trump won. I stood up and told my clients, ‘I’m sorry, Trump is not going to have a blissful administration, and he’s not going to prevent the economic decline.’ (Please remember, Armstrong predicted Donald Trump would win in a landslide many months before the November 2024 Election.)
Armstrong goes on to say, “We have a serious, serious problem on a global scale. . . . The sovereign debt crisis is really going to start percolating in 2025. It’s probably going to reach a major crisis by 2026 and 2027. Why? They have dictated all these banks and pension funds . . . 70%, generally, must be invested in government bonds. . . . They say it’s ‘safe,’ but it’s the worst debt possible. . . . So, if the government goes into a sovereign default, what happens? You wipe out the banking system and the pensions.”
Does Armstrong think the governments around the world are going to go into a sovereign default? Armstrong says, “Oh yeah. How does a government default? We are in this Ponzi Scheme. They have to keep selling new debt to pay off the old debt. . . . When you can’t sell the new debt, that’s when the default happens because you can’t pay off the old debt.”
What should the average guy do now? Does Armstrong think people should get to the bank and get cash? Armstrong says, “Yes, cash, physical paper money. We just had two hurricanes here in Florida. This idea of Bitcoin and CBDCs are very nice, but what’s the reality? The internet was down for 10 days. A credit card did not work. You wanted something, it was cash only. It was the same in Canada when they froze all the accounts of the truckers. They could not even buy food. Unless you had cash, you were dead in the water. This is why I am saying to have cash in this point in time.” Armstrong still likes physical gold, too.
Armstrong says the digital currencies that are getting a lot of attention lately are only a control mechanism. Armstrong contends digital money will stop bank runs. Armstrong still thinks the world will be at war by April or May of 2025. Armstrong says watch Turkey with its huge conventional army. Armstrong says Jordan and Lebanon may also be taken over, and like Syria, Turkey will be orchestrating this move. Armstrong says the Middle East is setting up for a major conflict starting in 2025, and there will be destruction. Armstrong also predicts Europe will be on the losing end of the next world war.
In closing, Armstrong says, “They can’t stop Trump from taking office, but they can delay him with martial law. Martial law has been enacted 60 times in the United States. . . . The neocons are scared to death of Trump and really want to trap him in war before he takes office.”

Randy,
Jesus said, “There would be no flesh left if the days were not shortened. So, for the sake of the elect the days shall be shortened.”
Be the ERlect and hang on to Christ Jesus!!
Greg
Greg,
Hopefully Trump will “Shorten the Days” of War and put a Speedy End to the Deep State’s next Plandemic (where these Totally Evil Demons will spread Hemorrhagic Viruses that cause Bleeding from the Mouth, Eyes, Ears and from Under the Skin!! With the help of Jesus, Trump needs to act quickly to Destroy these Demons or “No Flesh Will be Saved”!!
I tend to agree with your guest that Trump is going to rule and reign over a sinking ship with an attempt to create a global digital currency to monitor and control the whole world with.
Greg, you are correct to say that those days of the tribulation would be shortened for the sake of the elect, but let’s remember that of the 7 Churches of Asia Minor addressed in Revelation chapter 3, only the Church at Philadelphia Rev. 3:10, was promised that it would escape the tribulation because they believed that The Lord would return for them in the rapture as He promised. The other six Churches have no such promise. So yes, there will be those saints who are ready and will be taken in the rapture, but the majority will still likely be sitting in church the next Sunday after the rapture that they missed because they weren’t actively looking for the return of The Lord. They weren’t ready.
I agree 100% with Marty’s forecast. And I’m building and raising cash. I’m stacking U.S. dollars. Everything is about to go on sale. And those with cash, cash, cash will be able to get amazing fire-sale deals.
From a Christian perspective I hate the economic misery and desperation that’s coming. I hate it. The human suffering, loss and tears that’s coming won’t be easy to watch.
The ignorant masses simply won’t be able to pay even basic bills. I know that by me calling people ignorant sounds like I’m an arrogant excrement-head. But I have to call it like it is. And it is ike this: ignorance kills and knowledge (lack of ignorance) is power, life and happiness.
Don’t be ignorant. Don’t be a fool. Don’t think that Trump is going to make America great again. As much as I respect President Trump, I have to keep it real: Fact. Trump is too little to late. And the clued-in people are going to prepare accordingly.
Again. Here is the bottom line: by 2028 most people are going to be a lot poorer and only the smart people will break even or make out well.
Yours and mine pecuniary futures are at stake. And what you and I do right now to get ahead of the 2025 recession/depression will make a major difference in our lives.
Timing is everything. And 2025 is a major turning point. Be ready. And hope Western Civilization doesn’t enter WW3.
“Timing is everything. And 2025 is a major turning point. Be ready. And hope Western Civilization doesn’t enter WW3.”
As Gerald Celente likes to say: “When all else fails, they take you to war”. As Martin Armstrong has said many times, the system is collapsing. That is why no one is talking peace and what the Globalist want is a massive reduction in the world’s population.
EU will loose the war>MMM> The 10> TEN Kings Comith.!>Enjoy
Oh such good news as always from this Man. Merry Christmas and a sad new year
Larime,
To be fore warned is to be fore armed. Act and do not fear. Hang on to Christ Jesus!

Thanks Greg and Martin.
The following seems to indicate a WORLD War that according to the Creator’s Calendar – https://www.thecreatorscalendar.com/ we are presently in the NINTH Month since December 15th. So on the Calendar we use (Gregorian), the Prophecy of the 24th day of the NINTH Month coincides with January the 7th 2025.
Haggai 2:18. Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider [it].
20. And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying
21. Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22. And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, EVERY ONE BY THE SWORD OF HIS BROTHER.
Considering the 2 PREVIOUS World Wars, they were not commencing to HAPPEN on this time of the year, Could that MEAN that January the 7th next year will be as followed? (NUCLEAR anihilation?)
Malachi 4:1. For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
It appears that the CHOSEN/Elect will be escaping this eventful day? (Rapture?)
Mark 13:20. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, NO FLESH SHOULD BE SAVED: but for the ELECT’S sake, whom he hath CHOSEN, he hath shortened the days.
“Epiphany” is observed on the DAY BEFORE the January 7th Prophecy? Would that be when we are REDEEMED?
Revelation 14:4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed FROM AMONG men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Governments only have to default if they’ve borrowed in a foreign currency ie one they can’t print. For western governments like the US that issue debt in their own currency if there are not enough private buyers they can get always instruct their central bank to buy it. That tends to generate inflation in asset and/or consumer prices. That will be the outcome here, not default. They will cap bond yields say at 3-4% whilst CPI runs at 4-5% and actual inflation is 10% or more. Over a few years that brings the debt down to manageable levels at the expense of even more inequality.
I do love Martin. He is among my favorite guests. I’s like to point out the US print to infinity wealth model, or free money for some and debt for the rest has been the most effective control mechanism the world has ever seen. I understand digital currency is scaring some people. The technology can be used as an open ledger. Right now, the entire fiat system is overwhelmingly closed ledger. They print far more in the backroom than they want us to know.
I know this may sound pollyanna but why not a Jubilee worldwide? We need a reset not government. They did this a Jubilee would fix this.
Why are you paying a tax on your labor?
The Income Tax is an Excise tax. Excise taxes are on PRIVILEGED activities or events.
Since when is working for a living, in the private sector, a PRIVILEGE?
It’s NOT! It’s one of your most basic RIGHTS!
Besides — INCOME = PROFIT or GAIN. You do NOT have PROFIT or GAIN by working.
You have an EQUAL exchange of labor for compensation – NO INCOME!

Most North American cities were built near a source of water, so convert office buildings to vertical farms – Detroit is one example:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/taking-back-detroit/see-detroit.html
Such changes also downgrade the growing threat of, for example, pipeline wars in the oil rich areas such as the Middle East. The consumer/debt economy has consumed most if not all of the low hanging fruit, i.e. natural resources that were made available for exploitation in large part after WWII.
Gold is a storehouse of value only if value itself continues to be created.
Planned obsolescence is a false measure of value. The West has delayed the inevitable and only made change more difficult.

Israel’s military said a missile launched from Yemen has hit the Tel Aviv area after air defence systems were unable to intercept the incoming projectile.
Medics in Gaza said Israeli air attacks killed at least 25 Palestinians on Friday after Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 77 people killed in Israeli attacks across the enclave over the previous 24 hours.

The advice to get cash notes is useless to even moderate net worth individuals. The bank will not give you much more than $5,000 every few months without bringing up an inquisition. How much of your net worth/retirement can you shelter in this way? We need more targeted advice, such as “buy large-cap bonds” or “Brazilian gold miner stocks”, or whatever his advice may be.
Greg, can you privately ask Martin the addresses of where his global offices supposedly are? AS RONALD REAGAN SAID, “TRUST BUT VERIFY”. Is there nobody in any of these offices to proofread his blog? Always so many typos. It just seems odd.
Thanks very much for your great website and Merry Christmas!

A friend of mine I told about this before the interview got 10,000 out with little problem. I guess it depends on the bank, but I would get to work on Monday. Maybe people should have started working on this months ago?
Greg
Agreed on the hacking and constantly clearing his throat. I also agree and it’s been one of my pet peeves about all the typos in his blogs. However the man has an incredible track record forecasting events.
I don’t think he would be willing give out information on where his employees work and offices are located. He was after all falsely imprisoned and his office was raided.

Greg… you are killing it with these interviews. top notch top rated guess. I can’t believe you got Armstrong again what a treat. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for all your hard work this year. please please take care of yourself We need you.
Francine,
I can’t believe it either. You know when Armstrong is telling people to get cash out of the bank now, what’s coming must be bad.
Thanks for your very kind words.
Greg
Have to disagree with mr armstrong, but only slightly, gold has played the role as money over the last 2000 years because it fit the bill of needs: wouldnt rust, malleable to small units, real world value, rarity enuf that large sums could be held in small amounts, and so the world learned to use it as the first derivative of bartering. Sell my chickens for gold, buy my cow with gold.
Certainly, if an asteroid was grasped, full of gold, its market value per oz would fall …but only a few asteroids have been discovered here on earth, and the growth in commerce easily took up the increase in supply.
The old saw is “an oz of gold could buy you a fine suit in 1900, likewise an oz of gold will buy you a fine suit in 2025…”
That is stability in my mind.

I’d be interested to chart the trend of demand destruction, a graph of aggregate demand going downward, but suspect obtention of accurate numbers would be fleeting. Will it pull a Hemingway, and go “gradually and then all of a sudden ? Opine mine in the affirmative. What factors could cause a step change drop in aggregate demand ? Whatever the answer, I sense a huge drop in aggregate demand as a target / essential factor in the minds of power.
As re Lebanon, yes. As re Jordan, not so fast as it is not strategically important as others presently.
Many of these matters result in extreme unpleasantries, when decades of change come within a few weeks. It can seem frightening!

CBDC Is Digital Tyranny
This UN-Constitutional CBDC insanity is just more fiat currency – only much worse
The move toward this CBDC is, truthfully, the government’s covert war on cash. The elimination of cash creates the potential for the government to track and even control all consumer spending. With the elimination of cash it would be possible for the government to track even the smallest transaction – even a simple trip to the store for a loaf of bread could be under the scrutiny of government officials.

Marty as usual knows a ton!
But..
Here’s a strategy:
Buy Bitcoin…then after it gains more…which will happen short term. (Has Marty talked governments (including Trump) and rich people out of buying it yet?). It will keep going up if big buyers kerp buying it.
Marty re: Bitcoin: “its like gold”. * But see supply note below.
Use Bitcoin or proceeds from it to buy (and some merchants: will take it directly).
Gold, silver (silver is cash) food etc.
In case the electricity grid does get damaged.
Remember too, there was a time when you had no power, but could pick up and get a dial tone?
Crypto “Trezor” wallets and others like it are a bit like those phones. Use virtually no power.
Your seed is saved outside the grid. (Paper)
You do need USB + the internet. Starlink doesnt care if your power is out.
Idea is:
Make as much as you can while the grid remains viable..Take profit and use it!
* Supply:
*Noone knows exactly how much gold, silver is left in the ground.
But bitcoin and related decentralized crypto; they told you the supply is hard capped at “x” amount.
There’s no “printing more” or “digging in the ground” for more to increase supply.
May God Bless and protect Greg and all his guests and their families!
I wish I didn’t take Martin so seriously. He really scared me with this interview.
Sorry, but being a student of Scripture for over 50 yrs, (a follower of Christ since 1972), Martin may be a favorite of world leaders, but his “insights” do not square with God’s Word – and that’s all that counts.
David,
I don’t see how Jesus and Jehovah will allow godless communist China will lead the world financially.

Thanks Mr Hunter and Mr Armstrong,just a brilliant and sobering analysis.
1.War particularly here in Europe will destroy our economy .
2.Turkey establishes a new empire.
3.Money fleeing Europe to the DOW.
Just amazing.
Everlasting life – Are you not from everlasting, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die.—Hab. 1:12. – Do you find it difficult to grasp the idea that Jehovah has existed “for all eternity”? (Isa. 40:28) That is not unusual. Elihu said of God: “The number of his years is beyond comprehension.” (Job 36:26) But just because we do not understand something does not mean that it is untrue. For example, though we may not understand fully how light works, does this mean that light does not exist? Not at all! Similarly, we humans may never fully comprehend how it is that Jehovah has always existed and will always exist. But this does not mean that God does not live eternally. The Creator is not limited by what we can or cannot understand. (Rom. 11:33-36) And he existed before the material universe—including light sources such as the sun—came to be. Yes, he existed before he “stretched out the heavens.”—Jer. 51:15. – Please meditate on this FACT; Why did Adam die? He disobeyed a direct command from the Almighty which command was delivered to Adam by Jesus (Jesus translates as ‘Jehovah is salvation) who is NOW sitting on Jehovah’s throne as our king and ruler, so our obedience to Jehovah now goes through Jesus. Adam lived for 930 years, but Adam is now gone forever; he has no resurrection hope to live again as we do. Knowing that, now meditate on this FACT; JEHOVAH promises that those who obey him will have “everlasting life.” (Rom. 6:23) When we meditate on what Jehovah is offering us, our love for him certainly grows stronger. Just think: Our heavenly Father loves us so deeply that we will never be separated from him.

Since its population is all along the present border, the second largest country in the world would be the great and vast north American outback! Joking aside, this would only happen if only to rescue the states and for all intense and purposes, we will need they’re participation if Trump cannot save the union in its present form. To the chagrin of both, or both gone in an oblivion of debt and bankrupting Wiemer German type hyperinflation. We may not have Hypersonic missiles, but we sure are in the grips of fiat currency destroying monetary inflation ready to go Hyper, like a Hypersonic Satan 2!!

Thanks martin for your input which has certainly made a few things clearer to me.
We have clearly been told what to do with gold so your view is just surplus to needs.
As for the politics and finances of this world ,we can see for ourselves that over the past
century the world has been for the most part been run by a bunch of LIARS,THIEVES,
WARMONGERERS,AND ABSOLUTE FINANCIAL BRAIN DEAD IDIOTS……
WORST OF ALL AMONG THAT BUNCH THEY HAVE AS FAR AS THE CHRISTIAN WORLD IS CONCERNED INFLUENCED THEIR PEOPLE TO TURN THEIR BACKS ON

Now that we are on a war footing most if not all of Greg’s sponsors should be having a very busy time….Get food that can be kept well away from damp places. Try and buy food which is preserved with Salt, Sugar, Vinegar and see that there are no permitted flavourings or colourings used in their manufacture.
Regarding GOLD & SILVER a ratio of 60/40 should be used .As you will want to trade use SILVER so it earns the 60% slot .These metals will be trading at higher levels going forward and there will be absolutely NO PLACE IN CHRISTS WORLD FOR THE LIKES OF shitcoin ANYONE THAT DOESN’T DUMP THEM NOW WILL BE LOOKING AT THE RESULT OF THE WORLDS WORST PONZI SCHEME EVER WORTH SUB ZERO.
